Today I'm talking to Andrew Garcia, a local 22-year-old who says he never worried about his Hispanic heritage until he needed a bone marrow transplant and a donor wasn't readily available. @ActionNewsJax @WOKVNews

People with mixed ethnicity in Canada have a significantly lower chance of finding a #stemcell donor match - which Jeremy Chow didn't know until he needed one. My latest with @JennyPengNow thestar.com/vancouver/2019/0… via @starvancouver #bloodcancer #stemcelldonor
B.C. man’s search for a stem cell match highlights a dire shortage of mixed-race donors

B.C. man’s search for a stem cell match highlights a dire shortage of mixed-race donors

Jeremy Chow’s search for a donor match turned up nothing in Canada or worldwide. He is one of many mixed-race people hoping that an increase in donors will save a life.

I found out from Athena Asklipiadis, founder of @MixedMarrow in the US, that many mixed-race people turn to online communities for support because "there’s no mixed-race town." So social media helps people to find help #mixedmarrow

Are you on the @BeTheMatch bone marrow registry? You could save another person's life. Pls help Matthew, a 7 yr old who is #multiracial Vietnamese & White. I heard from his family, the process in this case is like donating blood. ktla.com/2019/03/15/7-year-o… @MixedMarrow #bethematch

Jacquie's favorite professional moment came when she interviewed the founder of @MixedMarrow, which aims to increase biracial donors for bone marrow. It lead to a story about the importance of personalized medicine: bna.com/precision-medicine-n…

Unlike blood donation, bone marrow donation requires a similar genetic makeup between donor and recipient, so mixed race patients can have much harder time matching with a donor– @MixedMarrow is aiming to change that. folks.pillpack.com/mixed-ble…

This past spring, Jenny was diagnosed with Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia (ALL). Her only cure is a blood stem cell transplant. Due to her Korean ethnicity, finding a match is challenging. Help us find a match for Jenny: ms.spr.ly/6011r46QP

1 in every 365 African Americans are diagnosed with sickle cell each year and a marrow transplant is the only cure. African American patients are struggling to find a match. This Black History Month, recruit your friends and family to join the registry. ms.spr.ly/6014rLmWp
